How To: Wear The Autumn/Winter 2013 Beauty Trends!

As much as we love all-things-Fashion Month, it’s sense of timing is a little impractical. In September, the fashion world come together to observe the designers’ latest offering of summer dresses and fun sandals for the following year’s spring/summer. So with this in mind, we rewound back to February this year and noted the key beauty trends for now – autumn/winter13 – and how you can achieve them yourself:

Although we loved the silver metallics seen at Chanel, we think the autumnal berry colours seen at Gucci are much more wearable every day. Plus, you won’t run the risk of looking like a christmas tree decoration.

How:Mirenesse’s Inside Out 27HR Eye Kohl in Amun is a deep plum with gold flecks running throughout. Use as a simple liner or apply over the entire lid and smudge out with a fluffy brush for a quick and easy smoky eye – act fast, as when these set they stay put!

Satiny, perfect-looking skin dominated catwalks as some make-up artists spent up to five times longer on the base than the rest of the make-up. Skin and brows were firm favourites on the runway.

How: theBalm Cosmetics TimeBalm Anti-wrinkle Concealer can be built up to a high coverage that works wonders correcting spots and discolouration for an even, perfect base. Super matte skin can run the risk of looking a little aged and unnatural, so use a liquid or cream based illuminator like Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector – the finely milled shimmer attracts the light and makes skin look fresh and healthy.

There was a real mix of reds on the catwalk, from cherry tomato to berry and wine, so you’ll find one that suits you. On the flip side, natural and soft glossy shades gave a smart, well groomed look. Square, short nails were predominately the shape of the season.

How: Recreate the ‘classic red’ seen at Valentino with the aptly named The One and Only Red by Révérence de Bastien – his No.14shade is a deep berry, similar to that at Burberry.OPI’s Thrill Of Brazil is a bold cherry — as seen at Meadham (above) — that looks great on most skin tones.
